Chapter 12: Family Ties
Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! Yeah, I know, I'm late with updating, but hey, Sandy just blew over my area, and being out of school for a couple of days gave me more time to write. Anyhow, time for the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or Bakugan
Enjoy!
"Ancient Haos and Darkus warriors Lars Lion and Exedra, I am in your debt. If you two didn't come to save me, I may have been lost forever. For that, I thank you." Said Twilight
"You are most welcome, but Exedra, Apollonir, and I did not return to save you and the young Dragonoid. We came to take you back. The Crimson Dragon's Bakugan counterpart is a part of the Perfect Core, and you were created out of the energies of the Crimson Dragonoid, and thus, like Drago, is a part of the Perfect Core, so when you and Drago left, New Vestroia's balance of power was disrupted. Even now, the dimension controllers power increases. Our world is on the brink of falling to the Vexos, or worse." Said Lars Lion
"Are you flipping kidding me?-! All that work for nothing?-!" I exclaimed
"So we're starting all over from scratch." Said Dawn
"Twilight, you can't stay here. We need to go back." Said Sunrise
"I'm with my sister on this one." Said Lunar
"We must find a way back, and fast." Said Dawn
"Did you forget I can open a gateway between here and the Doom Dimension to get from point A to point B?" asked Leonidas
"I don't think that's a good idea Leo. What if we run into your past self? We'll cause a paradox." I said
"Oh. Whoops." Said Leonidas
"It was a good idea Leonidas. However, with three of the Ancient Warriors on Earth, we can open a gate to New Vestroia." Said Exedra
"Hold it. I'm with the idea of going right away, but if we leave now, won't the others worry?" I asked
"Good point, especially since we disappear somewhere between now and the Gundalian-Neathian war." Said Dawn
"We'll head back to his place, and formulate a plan from that." I said
"It seems that Apollonir has gone to the tower. Then we will wait there as well. Until our paths cross again, Dawn and Sakura Phoenix." Said Lars Lion
They both reverted back into their ball forms and went on their way. Guess we better too. We made it back to Dan's place, and I think I saw Dan in a good mood. He must've won Drago back.
"Sakura, you're back!" exclaimed Baron
"All in one piece, and I got her back!" I exclaimed
"So, which Vexos did you have to beat? Gus?" asked Dan
"Actually, it wasn't one of the Vexos. It was a memory of a past I want to forget." I said
"Then we won't pry. Whenever you feel like talking about it, we'll listen." Said Drago
"Thanks Drago." I said
Things went by slowly before dinner time, and Dan's mom really cooked up a storm.
"Dinner time!" exclaimed Dan
"I'm starving!" exclaimed Baron
"Please be careful in New Vestroia, Dan." Said Dan's mom
"I'm always careful." Said Dan
Sure he is. I can count the times he looked before he leapt in a heartbeat. Zero.
"I'm serious Dan. Normally, I wouldn't let you run off again, but it sounds like Drago really needs you." Said Dan's mom
"Thank you Mrs. Kuso." Said Drago
"Please take care of my Dan." Said Dan's mom
"Of course." Said Drago
"I look after Baron so I might as well watch Dan too." Said Nemus
"Hey! I don't need a babysitter Nemus! I am not a kid! I'm almost 13 you know." Said Baron
"If you say so." Said Wilda
We all laughed at that one, but Mira seemed to be a bit under the weather.
"Mira, are you okay? Why aren't you eating?" asked Dan's mom
"Oh, sorry. It's delicious, but…" started Mira
"You're quiet this evening. Anything wrong? Are you worrying about the Bakugan?" asked Dan's mom
I'd say yes.
Later that evening…
"Tomorrow we're back to New Vestroia to free the Bakugan. Hope the trip goes without a hitch." Said Dawn
"Yeah, me too, especially since I'm worried about what Marucho in our present said." I said
"What did he say?" asked Dawn
"That we disappear between when New Vestroia is liberated and when I meet Ren in Bakugan Interspace for the first time. I wonder what he meant by that though." I said
"Well, no use thinking about it now. Time to get some sleep." Said Dawn
"Thanks for your concern." I said
The next morning…
"Hey everybody!" exclaimed Julie
"Hey girls." Said Dan
"You ready to go?" asked Runo
"Can't wait." Said Dan
Apollonir, Lars Lion, and Exedra appeared in front of us.
"Hey, aren't they Lars Lion and Exedra?" asked Julie
"Yeah. They helped me get Twilight back yesterday. I must've forgotten to tell you." I said
"If everyone is here, we should get started." Said Apollonir
"Wait a minute Apollonir, we've got one more. Alice is coming too." Said Dan
"What?" asked Runo
"Really?-!" exclaimed Julie
"Alice?" asked Runo
I secretly looked at my Bakumeter to check the time. At least the watch was working. She's taking her time.
"Aw snap, where is Alice? She's supposed to be here." Said Dan
"This is strange for Alice. She's usually more dependable." Said Drago
"We shouldn't wait any longer. We'll open the gate." Said Lars Lion
"Look! She's here." Said Runo
"We almost left without you." Said Julie
"You're late Alice. We were waiting for you." Dan said as Alice ran up to us
"I'm so sorry. I brought Lync along with me, but now he's completely disappeared." Said Alice
"What? I can't believe you did that." Said Baron
"Lync is a traitor." Said Nemus
"If he knows we're here, Spectra won't be far behind." Said Wilda
"Have you completely lost it? Lync is Vexos. Vexos can't be trusted." Said Dan
"He said he quit. He said that he didn't believe in the Vexos and that he had something important to tell you." Said Alice
"Dan, this has got to be a trap." Said Drago
"Sure it is, but we can't let that stop us." Said Dan
"If we're going to go, we need to go now." Said Exedra
Apollonir, Exedra, and Lars Lion glowed, and all three of them opened a gate to New Vestroia.
"Hurry! The gate won't stay open for long!" exclaimed Apollonir
"Yeah. 'Kay, let's roll guys." Said Dan
"Sorry, you're not going anywhere." Said a male voice
Gus then appeared in front of us.
"Gus!" exclaimed Dan
He trapped us in some kind of cage.
"It's some kind of cage." Said Dan
"No question about it." I said
Dan touched the cage, and it was one lightning generator!
"Well, if it isn't The Three Vexeteers. Spectra!" exclaimed Dan
"And Lync. You lied to me!" exclaimed Alice
"Yeah, what was your first clue Einstein?" asked Lync
"Okay, so how do you know your Earth History then Lync? And second, if you don't let us out, you're becoming dragon food!" I exclaimed
I then turned behind me as I heard a sound and saw Mira with my duel disk! When did she get that?-!
"Mira, you're free!" exclaimed Dan
"I'm sorry about this." Said Mira
She then walked over to Spectra's side. What is she doing?
"Mira." Said Baron
"How could you?" asked Julie
"Please don't." said Runo
"This is wrong." Said Dan
"I've no choice. My place is beside my brother." Said Mira
"You've gotta be flipping joking! Spectra is your brother?-!" I exclaimed
"And I thought we had family problems." Said Dawn
"Not the time for a joke Dawn." I said
"Well, even if he is, you know that everything he's doing is totally whacked." Said Dan
"Come on Mira, it's time to go." Said Spectra
"Don't do it! Mira!" exclaimed Dan
I saw her jump into the gate.
"No!" I exclaimed
Spectra soon jumped in after him.
"Apollonir, Lars Lion, Exedra, keep the gate open!" exclaimed Drago
"It's too late." Said Lars Lion
"Once we open the gate, it closes automatically. We have no control over it." Said Exedra
"I can't just let them loose in New Vestroia!" exclaimed Dan
Dan somehow managed to get free from the cage, but it was too late. The gate had closed shut.
"No! I can't believe it! It doesn't make sense! Mira… betrayed us!" exclaimed Dan
By this time, I pulled out my smart pen, and activated a function which disabled the cage. We then walked over to Dan.
"Dan?" asked Runo
"Dan, you have to pull yourself together. New Vestroia is at stake!" exclaimed Drago
"Master Dan, we gotta go after them." Said Baron
"You're right. Apollonir, Exedra, Lars Lion, hurry! Open the gate! We've got to leave right now!" exclaimed Dan
"I'm sorry I can't do that." Said Apollonir
"And why not?" I asked
"I used an extreme amount of power in that battle with Helios. I… I just don't have enough left to open that gate again." Said Apollonir
"And it takes three to open the gate." Said Lars Lion
"Now what?" asked Dan
"Don't worry. There's still another way." Said Alice
We looked at her with a confused look on all of our faces, and then she brought out a card, and prompted us to hold onto her tightly. When she activated it, we somehow found ourselves in Dr. Michael's lab!
"Lucky for us, the Dimensional Transporter is almost completely repaired, but we needed to keep that quiet so Lync wouldn't find out." Said Alice
"Well, what are we waiting for?-! Let's do it!" exclaimed Dan
I then saw the machine start up as Dr. Michael appeared in front of us.
"Well hello everybody. What's the matter? Did you miss your gate?" asked Dr. Michael
"Yes, but there's no time to explain grandfather. Please, we have to hurry. We need your help to get back to New Vestroia, and the Dimensional Transporter is the only way." Said Alice
"I'm happy to help out, but you should know there's a problem with the transporter." Said Dr. Michael
"What is it?" asked Alice
"In order to repair the transporter systems, I made use of Vestal technology. It was fascinating. They're a scientifically advanced society, despite their views on the Bakugan." Said Dr. Michael
"Huh? Sorry, you lost me there." Said Baron
"I took Lync's gauntlet without him noticing. It was worth the risk to get his technology. Then I diverted a portion of the gauntlet's system and installed it into the dimension transporter, so now the transporter is repaired, but it will only work with those who wear a gauntlet." Said Dr. Michael
"Then that means…" started Julie
"That the only ones who can use it, will be Baron, Sakura, Dawn, and me. Right doc?" asked Dan
"I'm sorry to say you're right Dan." Said Dr. Michael
"Oh well then. I never really wanted to go to New Vestroia anyway." Said Runo
"Runo." Said Julie
"Well, that's the way it's gotta be. Sorry, you guys are gonna have to sit this one out again. So, gotta go. Don't forget me." Said Dan
"Don't ever come back!" exclaimed an angry Runo
Dan then grabbed her hand. Well, hurry up and calm her down Dan the man.
"I'm sorry you're not coming. Don't worry, I'll be back." Said Dan
"Won't be long now kids. Realigning the target controls, then calibrate the stabilizers, and voila! We're ready to go." Said Dr. Michael
"See ya. It's just us now Baron, Sakura, Dawn." Said Dan
"I won't let you down." Said Baron
"You can say that again." Dawn and I said in unison
*Preview*
Sakura: Ye-haw! We're back in New Vestroia! But I have to tell ya, this is some welcome we get. The old lady and the spoiled brat are our welcoming committee.
